WARRANTY
This Welch Vacuum product is warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship. The liability of Welch
Rietschle Thomas under this warranty is limited to servicing, adjusting, repairing or replacing any unit or component part
which in the judgment of Welch Rietschle Thomas has not been misused, abused or altered in any way causing impaired
performance or rendering it inoperative. No other warranties are expressed or implied. The method of executing this warranty:
servicing, adjusting, repairing or replacing shall be at the discretion of Welch Rietschle Thomas. Vacuum pumps that have
been used for any period, however short, will be repaired under this warranty rather than replaced.
The warranty is effective for one year from the date of original purchase when:
1. The warranty card has been completed and returned.
2. The product is returned to the factory or other designated service centers, freight prepaid.
3. The product in our judgment is defective through no action or fault of the user.
If the product has become defective through misuse, abuse, or alteration, repairs will be billed regardless of the age of the
product. In this event, an estimate of the repair costs will be submitted and authorization of these charges will be required
before the product is repaired and returned.
To reduce additional charges and delays either within or outside of the warranty period, contact Welch Rietschle Thomas
@847-676-8800 for a return authorization number. Products without a return authorization number will be refused by our
receiving department. Before shipping, properly pack the pump, insure it against loss or damage, and on the outside of
the pump packaging and the packing slip write in the return authorization number. Pumps damaged due to improper
packaging are the customer’s responsibility.
